Hurd Professor (emeritus), School of Law (Boalt Hall), University of California (Berkeley) 1994-96 Counselor to the Secretary of the Interior, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior 2004 Distinguished Water Attorney Award (As of June, 2007) Professor Sax was born in Illinois, U.S.A. in 1936. After graduating from Harvard University, he earned the degree of Juris Doctor from the University of Chicago in 1959. He taught law at the University of Colorado from 1962 to 1966 and then he moved to the University of Michigan, where he became the Philip A. Hart Distinguished University Professor. He joined the Boalt faculty of the University of California at Berkeley in 1986, and at present is the House & Hurd Professor of Environmental Regulation, Emeritus. In the mid-1960s, series of lawsuits were raised against pesticide spraying encouraged by Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" although all lawsuits were wholly unsuccessful. Professor Sax observed that the laws themselves rarely contained environmental protections, and was drawn to the area and further engaged himself in the fi eld of environmental law. In 1969, he learned of a lawsuit opposing the construction of an apartment building along the bank of the Potomac River in Washington, DC The basis for the suit was the public trust doctrine, and here he found the legal basis to advance environmental conservation causes. Michigan Environment Protection Act which was adopted in 1970 and known as the "Sax Act" was drafted by Professor Sax and was groundbreaking in that it authorized environmental citizen suits and ensured standing in environmental litigation by stating "any person, partnership, corporation, association, organization or other legal entity may maintain 33 an action in the circuit court for the protection of the air, water and other natural resources

    “We’ve embarked on the beginning of the Last Days of the Age of Oil. Nations of the world that are striving to modernize will make choices different from the ones we have made. They will have to. And even today’s industrial powers will shift energy use patterns....[T]he market share for carbon-rich fuels will diminish, as the demand for other forms of energy grows. And energy companies have a choice: to embrace the future and recognize the growing demand for a wide array of fuels; or ignore reality, and slowly—but surely—be left behind.” —Mike Bowlin, Chairman and CEO, ARCO, and Chairman, American Petroleum Institute, 9 Feb. 1999 1 “My personal opinion is that we are at the peak of the oil age and at the same time the begin- ning of the hydrogen age. Anything else is an interim solution in my view. The transition will be very messy, and will take many and diverse competing technological paths, but the long- term future will be in hydrogen and fuel cells.” —Herman Kuipers, Business Team Manager, Innovation & Research, Shell Global Solutions, 1.

    Brig Gen Kenneth Newton Walker Kenneth Walker enlisted at Denver, Colorado, on 15 December 1917. He took flying training at Mather Field, California, getting his com- mission and wings in November 1918. After a tour in the Philippines, he returned to Langley Field, Virginia, in February 1925 with a subsequent assignment in December 1928 to attend the Air Corps Tactical School. Retained on the faculty as a bombardment in- structor, Walker became the epitome of the strategic thinkers at the school and coined the revolutionary airpower “creed of the bomber”: “A well-planned, well-organized and well-flown air force attack will constitute an offensive that cannot be stopped.” Following attendance at the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1933 and promotion to major, he served for three years at Hamilton Field, California, and another three years at Luke Field, Ford Island, and Wheeler Field, Hawaii. Walker returned to the United States in January 1941 as assistant chief of the Plans Division for the chief of the Air Corps in Washington, DC. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in July 1941 and colonel in March 1942. During this time, when he worked in the Operations Division of the War Department General Staff, he coauthored the air-campaign strategy known as Air War Plans Division—Plan 1, the plan for organizing, equipping, deploying, and employing the Army Air Forces to defeat Germany and Japan should the United States become embroiled in war. The authors completed this monumental undertaking in less than one month, just before Japan at- tacked Pearl Harbor—and the United States was, in fact, at war.

    Profitable Solutions for Oil, Climate, and Proliferation AMORY B

    Profitable solutions for oil, climate, and proliferation AMORY B. LOVINS, CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF SCIENTIST, ROCKY MOUNTAIN INSTITUTE (WWW.RMI.ORG) Invited draft for Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 31 October 2006, updated and slightly expanded for American Academy in Berlin 27 August 2007; 1,543 words + endnotes & biosketch Raymond Williams wrote, “To be truly radical is to make hope possible, not despair convincing.” Problems like climate change, oil dependence, and nuclear proliferation seem so huge and daunting that energy policy seems like a stupid multiple-choice test: “Would you prefer to die of (a) climate change, (b) oil wars, or (c) nuclear holocaust?” Yet if we take economics and technologies seriously, the right answer is the one usually omitted—(d) none of the above— because all of the conventionally dreadful answers are both unnecessary and uneconomic. To see how, let’s start with climate. Climate protection, like the Hubble Space Telescope’s mirror, got spoiled by a sign error: in fact, climate solutions are not costly but profitable, because saving fuel costs less than buying fuel. Many leading companies are making billions of dollars’ profit by cutting their carbon intensity or emissions at rates of 5–8%/y.1 When politicians who lament climate protection’s supposed costs, burdens, and sacrifices join the parallel universe of practitioners who routinely achieve profits, jobs, and competitive advantage by wasting less fuel, the political obstacles will dissolve faster than any glacier. Stabilizing carbon emissions requires only increasing energy productivity ($ GDP per GJ) by 2%/y rather than the canonically assumed 1%/y; stabilizing climate needs only ~3%/y.

    The International Politics of Oil Vol

    1 St Antony’s International Review The International Politics of Oil Vol. 2, No. 1, May 2006 Simon Bromley · Joshua Busby Nils Duquet · Leben Nelson Moro Peter Utting & Kate Ives 2 Climate Change and Collective Action: 35 Troubles in the Transition to a Post-Oil Economy Joshua Busby Oil is essential to the modern economy, providing, among other things, the foundation for transportation systems that facilitate human mobility. The security of oil supplies at reasonable and stable prices is one of the highest priorities of any government. The discovery of petroleum and the invention of the internal combustion engine radically transformed human existence in the 20th century, providing for individual mobil- ity across wide geographic spaces. While citizens of the United States (us) in particular have long enjoyed personal automobiles, millions of Chinese and Indians are set to experience such liberty for the first time as their countries become richer. However, the seductive freedom of the automobile comes concomitantly with a dependence on petroleum that most countries must import from unstable regimes. Oil has facilitated the modern industrial economy and yet given rise to negative externali- ties, from pollution and negative effects on public health to a corrosive impact on governance, particularly among producer nations. These effects have become increasingly salient as the consequences of glo- bal climate change have become clearer. At the same time, the links between oil dependence, authoritarian oil producing regimes and terrorism have crystallised public awareness of the oil security externali- ties that are not incorporated within market prices.1 In 2005, it appeared that us$70 per barrel oil prices might have provided the market signal that consumers should ready themselves for the post-oil future.2 How- ever, while technological developments may yet yield rapid transitions to a much less oil intensive economy, without creative government poli- cies and aggressive efforts by industry, present trends will only deepen global oil dependency.

    Reinventing Fire: Secure Energy Without Oil, Coal, Or Nuclear 6 December 2013 – GL 102, 1300

    NPS Defense Energy Program Presents: Defense Energy Seminar www.nps.edu/energy Reinventing Fire: Secure Energy Without Oil, Coal, or Nuclear 6 December 2013 – GL 102, 1300 With Guest Lecturer Dr. Amory B. Lovins Cofounder and Chief Scientist, Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) A transdisciplinary "grand synthesis" published in 2011 by Rocky Moun- tain Institute (RMI) showed in detail how to run a 2.6x-bigger 2050 U.S. economy with no oil, coal, or nuclear energy, one-third less natural gas, 82–86% lower fossil carbon emissions, and a $5-trillion lower net- present-value cost than business-as-usual (counting all externalities at Dr. Amory B. Lovins zero). The transition requires no inventions nor Acts of Congress, but can be led by business for prot, enabled by administrative and state policy innovations and sped by military innovation. These surprising outcomes emerge from integrating all four energy-using sectors (transportation, buildings, industry, and electricity) and four kinds of innovations—not just technology and public policy but also design and business strategy. A key theme, Integrative design, often makes very large energy savings cost less than small or no savings, turning dimin- ishing returns into expanding returns. An ecient, diverse, distributed, renewable electricity system can yield important economic, risk-management, and resilience benets. These civilian ndings also reect important military opportunities for more ght with less fuel and for more resilient facilities and eective operations. RMI recently launched a collaborative initiative to apply Reinventing Fire's ndings to China. Abridged Biography: Amory B. Lovins has been active in ~50 countries for nearly 40 years as an innovator and practi- tioner in energy and its links to security, development, environment, and economy.

  • The Nuclear Illusion AMORY B

    The Nuclear Illusion AMORY B

    Ambio Nov 08 preprint, dr 18, 27 May 2008, DRAFT subject to further peer review/editing The Nuclear Illusion AMORY B. LOVINS AND IMRAN SHEIKH A widely heralded view holds that nuclear power is experiencing a dramatic worldwide revival and vibrant growth, because it’s competitive, necessary, reliable, secure, and vital for fuel security and climate protection. That’s all false. In fact, nuclear power is continuing its decades-long collapse in the global marketplace because it’s grossly uncompetitive, unneeded, and obsolete—so hopelessly uneconomic that one needn’t debate whether it’s clean and safe; it weakens electric reliability and national security; and it worsens climate change compared with devoting the same money and time to more effective options. Yet the more decisively nuclear power is humbled by swifter and cheaper rivals, the more zealously its advocates claim it has no serious competitors. The web of old fictions1 ingeniously spun by a coordinated and intensive global campaign is spread by a credulous press and boosted by the nuclear enthusiasts who, probably for the first time ever, now happen to lead nearly all major governments at once. Many people have been misled, including four well-known individu- als with long environmental histories2—amplified by the industry’s echo box into a sham but widely believed claim of broad green endorsement—and some key legislators. As a result, the U.S. Congress in late 2007 voted $18.5 billion, and the industry will soon be back for another $30+ billion, in new loan guarantees for up to 80% of the cost of new U.S.
